Back when Overwatch was fresh, had a couple randoms I wound up buddying and partnering up with pretty often for a few weeks. But one of them was a really annoying person on mic, who was just very clingy with the other guy. Then other guy wanted to drop clingy guy. Clingy guy freaked. They didn’t split but I eventually just stopped playing. Don’t know how their friendship ultimately turned out.

I love my Gulikit KK2! one of the best controllers i’ve ever used in 40 years of gaming. just pick up the latest one, i think the KK3.

8bitdo is also a great company with lots of options.

edit looking into it now, it seems quality may have dropped for the KK3. lots of ppl recommending Gamesir G7 Pro,

Friend of mine in high school was super into Star Wars Galaxy. Was pretty much all he did after school at the time. One day he got into an argument with his guild leader or some other member with thw power to remove him, and they kicked him from the guild. This pissed him off enough that he recruited another friend of ours to infiltrate the guild and then spent the next month or so getting to a position of power within it so they could re-add the original friend and kick everyone else out while also draining the guild coffers. Effectively destroying the entire guild.

I have an 8bitdo Ultimate 2 Bluetooth (so the switch version) and it works well. I had to add the line manually to the SDL DB, as I was using the beta firmware. Default firmware works out of the box.

I’d suggest the Ultimate 2 Wireless instead as it should have full SteamInput support.

I couldn’t get the customization and update app to work under wine. It’s not a huge issue, but if you want that functionality you need to boot into windows.

Xbox Series X controller works out of the box on USB. Haven’t tried Bluetooth, but I couldn’t get the proprietary wireless dongle to work (it should work with the xone driver)

It’s weird thinking these all started out so bland (for a lack of a better words). It feels natural now for all the little paragraphs i include to be there, but looking back i really didn’t start doing that until around day 50. I guess i kind of acclimated too it

Once upon a time I ran a clan in a popular PvE/PvP co-op FPS alien shooter (still going, but has lost its magic). We had a few kinda well-known actors in the group. Shooting aliens one day and bullshitting with one when he gets a call that his best friend and fellow actor/writer OD’ed last night. He didn’t leave, and there wasn’t anything I could say. We shot aliens in silence for quite a while.

It’s even weirder that this boot screen was there since 2013

I have an 8bitdo and like it as well, one thing to consider tho is Steam Controller 2 is "extremely close", might be worth holding out for that to drop atm, the original is pretty legendary and 2 seems based on steamdeck layout.

sonofearth,

Does 8bitdo work well with Lutris? I saw a video posted 5 years ago where you had to add Lutris to Steam and launch it from there for the controllers to work.

MalReynolds,
@MalReynolds@piefed.social avatar

Sorry, don’t use Lutris, either Steam or straight to Bottles. But I’ll guess yes, with the dongle it comes up as a normal XBox controller unless you jump through hoops to get extra buttons going.

magic_lobster_party, do games w Gamepad for Linux Gaming?

I’ve been using the same base Xbox One controller for a while. It was easy to set up for Linux. Just had to install some extra package but after that it was good to go.

Out of all the mainline console controllers, Xbox One’s is my favorite. They really nailed it with that one.

I used to play growtopia as a kid (don’t play it now, it went downhill lol), and I’ve seen a ton of scams/griefs among my friend circle, people would work for ages to gain someone’s trust and then either steal via picking up dropped items, not returning borrowed items, ooor… if you gave them access to your world they’d log in when you’re offline and literally tear the whole thing down to bedrock, even valueless blocks

I don’t know why, but the top screen looks like a 2013-era iPhone and I can’t unsee it.

Tollana1234567,

i wouldnt be surprised if apple stole that design.

SkunkWorkz,

This thing was released in 2017.

stupidcasey,

I’ve always thought that, couldn’t necessarily think on anything wrong with it but it all seems weird.

Logitech F710, works pretty seamlessly for me on Kubuntu and Mint with GoG/Lutris.

YiddishMcSquidish, do games w What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype?

Friend recommended one of the hitman games. But the steam port is so incredibly janky in regards to controller layout. And it was fucking made for consoles is what’s bonkers!!!

qevlarr,
@qevlarr@lemmy.world avatar

Huh what?

YiddishMcSquidish,

There’s a game series called “hitman”. A friend recommended one of the games. I installed it and had difficulty playing it because it was difficult to control the character. The game was made in an era when it needed to be released on consoles to be financially viable. If it is released on consoles, it follows that it needs to be made for people controlling the character with a “controller”. The steam deck is kinda set up as a “controller”.

Despite these two seemingly perfect intersections, the game does not play well on the steam deck.

BryceBassitt,

Can you give me an example of what you found difficult? I’m unsure because, huh what?

YiddishMcSquidish,

They didn’t add controller support in the steam version so it’s more or less emulating the keyboard. I’m the top left corner it has “E”,“SPC”,& another key, and gives you a description of the action associated with those keys which change depending on the situation. Getting the rifle in the intro mission was a chore between picking up the case and having to choose it from the inventory to take it out, then trying to get into scoped mode because none of that is labeled on the action keys. Also having a joystick emulate a mouse comes with it’s own issues. It just wasn’t an enjoyable experience trying to pay it.

I_Clean_Here,

Are you playing the first Hitman game from the early 2000s by any chance? Because sounds like it. The new ones have full controller support, silly.

YiddishMcSquidish,

Blood money

BryceBassitt,

Ah, Blood Money. Phenomenal game but old 🫤

qevlarr,
@qevlarr@lemmy.world avatar

That explains. What Hitman version are you referring to? You said Steam port but I own Hitman World of Assassination on Steam using an XBox controller, and I never thought the controls were poor. But you’re specifically talking about Steam Deck. I cannot comment on that

YiddishMcSquidish,

Blood money

southernbrewer,

I’ve never played a consoley Hitman nor tried a controller, but I loved the original hitman (silent assassin) and the original series sequels up till about Blood Money. I didnt enjoy Absolution, it’s too choreographed unlike the originals where you could actually be creative and kill people in a variety of ways.

Then got pretty confused when I realised they reset the numbering with “Hitman” and “Hitman 2” (why do games do this?) and just gave up at that point and haven’t tried them or anything newer

statisfactory 1.0: the game is pure eye candy there’s no endgame. factorio is leaps and bounds better

Fizz,
@Fizz@lemmy.nz avatar

Yeah I’m a huge factorio player and I so badly wanted to like satisfactory but i can only describe the gameplay as cock and ball torture. For the first 6 hours you are getting kicked in the balls repeatedly by pointless tasks that drag you out of the automation loop. The game is not playable until you unlock the hydro power.

With friends it helped mask the pain.

1985MustangCobra,
@1985MustangCobra@lemmy.ca avatar

I was not throwing shade in the game as it is pure eye candy, when you unlock the space elevator that was a “holy shit” moment. It does really look good, but factorio the base game, I could get lost in for days, nevermind doing mods like pyanodon.

Fizz,
@Fizz@lemmy.nz avatar

Yes I agree it looks so amazing. I love seeing Satisfactory base tours and seeing all the different setups I just cant enjoy playing it myself sadly.

burntbacon,

Oh, damn. I’m like a few dozen hours in and still no hydro power. I must be a slow player. :(

I do, however, have a fifteen gajillion story high factory that I’m building, so there’s that!

I was playing in a group of 4 and am just spitballing time. Its been a while so maybe it was 12hr+
